I'm glad The Big Picture continues to focus on this story. I hope the relief effort maintains this momentum past the initial recovery phase.

This past September, when nearly all the world’s leaders were in New York for a meeting of the United Nations, Platon, a staff photographer for this magazine, set up a tiny studio off the floor of the General Assembly, and tried to hustle as many of them in front of his lens as possible. For months, members of the magazine’s staff had been writing letters to various governments and embassies, but the project was a five-day-long improvisation, with Platon doing his best to lure the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chávez, and Muammar Qaddafi to his camera.
This 32 photo set is for those of you who love fall. The photo featured here is from nearby Loami, IL. It's harvest time.
The Big Picture has another great set of photos, this time highlighting the first few days of Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. I love the transition from this stage of the revelry (#10) to this one (#26)
